The rapid growth and expansion of the chemical process industry
during the past century have been accompanied by a simultaneous
rise in human health problems as well as material and property
losses because of fires, explosions, hazardous and toxic spills,
equipment failures, other accidents, and business interruptions.
Concern over the potential consequences of emissions of harmful
chemicals (along with catastrophic accidents) has sparked interest
at both the industrial and regulatory levels in obtaining a better
understanding of the potential for environmental health risks in
chemical and related industries. This practical book presents and
examines the environmental and health risk assessment calculations
as they apply to various chemical process industries. Chemical
Process Industries: Environmental and Health Risk Calculations can
be used as a college text designed to provide new engineers and
scientists some comprehension of the industries into which they may
enter. It also serves as a useful reference for practitioners and
will help them better understand the health risk aspects of various
industrial operations. The chemical process industries employ
mechanical, electrical, and civil engineers and a host of other
scientists; these professions should also benefit from material in
this book that applies to their fields of work.
With the advent of the Clean Air Act in 1970, the number of air
pollution control equipment installations has increased at an
accelerated pace. Although much has been written on attaining
collection performance with the various control devices, a major
void has occurred in the identification and transfer of information
needed to help reduce maintenance costs and to prevent
deterioration of collector perform ance. Although design and
selection information is presented, it is the primary inten tion of
this book to discuss operation and maintenance topics and explore
many of the repetitive problems that have plagued users of air
pollution control equipment. The existence of these problems may be
related to the complexity of the process or to a lack of
well-defined operation techniques, among other reasons. In any
event, this book intends to emphasize where and how these factors
can have a major impact on the maintenance problems of control
devices. Operation and maintenance problems have plagued users for
nearly 100 years."
